Interlude - A Beneteau 235 was my first boat

a beautiful French designed boat that I fixed up and trailered from Colorado to Boca Ciega Bay south of St. Petersburg, Florida. It was a small boat but beautiful inside and out. It had sleeping, cooking, and restroom accommodations in a 23.5 foot boat. She was hot, as in quick, little boat.

When I moved to Dunedin, FL I worked for Nielsen Media TV Ratings as a software developer. My boss, Bob Riddle took me sailing for my first time on his 34 foot Irwin named Different Drummer. I was smitten.
